Frustrated Senate Democratic leaders dispensed with calls for bipartisanship on the stimulus package Thursday, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid saying that he won't let anyone "hold the president of the United States hostage."

President Barack Obama had once hoped to have the package pass with substantial Republican support. But Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that's now a distant memory."

"So far," he said, bipartisanship "isn't working."

But in an interview with Politico, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that the Democrats - not the Republicans - have made a mockery of bipartisanship.

Senators are in a panic  this bill is stinking up the place, Graham said  then accused Obama of being AWOL in the stimulus discussions.

This gigantic pork bill is a world record for deficit spending, consists exclusively of wasteful liberal spending, and the liberals are complaining that they can't get "bipartisan" support? They are even more stupid than I thought. The bill could get bipartisan support if they chopped it down to reasonable tax cuts, plus maybe a couple billion dollars in carefully-targeted spending. I'd like it better with no new spending, but that's a bipartisan gesture. What they want is absolute submission, and they're crying because they can't get that, not even from McCain (so far).

(If there ever was a time that Obama looked like an amateur, its right now.)

Bi-Partisanship will never work when Obama and the Democrats sneak off to Williamsburg to plot against them.

Thats right Obama and the boys are going on retreat to Williamsburg Obama is flying down in the luxurious Air Force One on a trip that the Presidential Helicopter copuld easilt make in an hour, all the Dems are taking a special chartered Amtrak train down, that way no one gets a DUI on the way down. Any business they do in Williamsburg could easily be dine right in Washington.

(Yeah, sing a song bro’...)
If the sun refused to shine
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
(Yeah)
If the mountains ah, fell in the sea
Let it be, it ain’t me.
(Well, all right)

Got my own world to live through and uh, ha !
And I ain’t gonna copy you.

“Yeah (sing the song brother...)
Now if uh, six uh, huh, turned out to be nine
Oh I don’t mind, I don’t mind uh ( Well all right... )
If all the hippies cut off all their hair
Oh I don’t care, oh I don’t care.
Dig.

‘Cause I’ve got my own world to live through and uh, huh
And I ain’t gonna copy you.”

No Harry Reid what is happening is that American’s that normally don’t pay attention are watching and are not likeing what they see. When they find out the truth about these things you guys normally lose.

“You vote for our proposals and our nominees, and we won’t change the rules to eliminate filibusters. This doesn’t mean we won’t hold up your appointments if you ever get in power again, because we work for the people (and the children).”

You really have to laugh at these attempts to get Republican suckers to sign up to these excrement they are trying to pass. And it’s funny because they are trying to act as if they need Republican votes with this thing when they don’t want to draw attention to their disastrous control of all branches of gov’t and who the people can ‘thank’ when the effects of their policies hits home. The Demonrats are really a bunch of wicked souls who are going to deserve the hate directed their way when reality sets in.

Remember, we have to do something, because Pelosi says 500 million Americans lose their jobs every month!

That's 16,000,000 Amuricans lined up at unemployment lines daily!

Must be some hellaciously long lines somewhere. Consider: There were supposedly 2 million on the mall at the Obama Crowning. From that example, I think we can find the unemployment lines by simply looking for the trash and feces they leave.

“The sum total of their grievances amount to one page,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat...”Three months from now, we won’t be talking about how many votes we’re getting ,” he said. “We’ll be talking about how many people we’ve put to work, whether the GDP is turned around, and all of that.”

Pass it bunky...let’s see what we’re talking about in 3 mos...prolly a terrorist attack on a soup line.

Why should they care if they get “bi-partisan” support for The Great Taxpayer Heist from Republicans? After all, as Hussein said “I won”. Let him lead the ‘rats in passing the theft against the wishes of millions of fed-up Americans, it’s good to be king.
